Questionhi,my sister in law has a painting by m.b/ parkinson titled cupid awake.it was published by taber prang art co. have you any knowledge of this artist and what it would be worth? thx for the help

AnswerIf you can see the publisher of the piece, it is a print. Most likely a colored lithograph. This is one of the 19th Centuries most popular prints done by an Englidh photographer. The print is not very valuable since there have been thousands printed. Enjoy it on your wall.
